Seriously dude, this has got to be the nicest looking 55 I’ve ever seen. It looks clean, classy and brutal all at the same time. I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat. Sadly I’m in South Africa. Nice work mate 👍🏼
Love the color combination of the brilliant silver and gunmetal rims, carbon splitters and grill. Thinking Niche Essen wheels would look good on my C55.
What a sexy car! Even nearly 15 years later. I never cared much for carbon fiber, but it looks great on this car. Just the right amount in the right places. Do you have videos of the work being done to this car?
Timeless......Just bought me a 2011 SL 63 ///AMG wit 30k on it, and I got the 2 year warranty. It is funny on the newer ones the AMG decal on the back comes first.
What the fuck this channel is pure golddddddddd im shocked there aren't many clean E55s on here and also I see you showcased this car has aux cord type c USB and iPhone support nice !!!
March 21 how the fuck am I not in one yet . How are we not in one ?!? 🤷🏻♂️ Keep working hard and keep this as a goal in your mind . I promise it will come if your want it had enough.
What is the offset ? Or can you please tell me what would be a suitable offset of a 20 inch wheel 9inches front 10 rear to get a similar stance without rubbing
05 to 2008 these beauties were made. The sl55 Amg is the closest you'll get to a car that looks like the legendary and highest end benz , THE SLR McLaren without spending 300,000$ on a used one
I had a slk55 amg but looking into these sl 55’s & noticing there cheaper for some reason idk how or why but man trading my slk for a sl no doubt this is one sexy car
Thanks Joel! Those are indeed the Niche Form M157 in Charcoal. I ran a 20x8.5 25et with a 10mm H&R hub-centric spacer (for flush fitment) and 255/30/20 in the front. In the rear I did a 20x10.5 27ET with a 305/25/20 tire. Unfortunately Niche does not make a 20x9 for the front in this particular wheel, hence having to run a 8.5". On a 20x9 wheel, you can easily run a 275 width tire in the front with these SLs though.
MBZ MBZ that's awesome!!! That makes sense for using the spacers. I love the way the fitment looks! And thank you for letting me know about 275 up front I didn't know you could! How's the ride quality on 305/25?
Ride quality is honestly pretty good as long you don't lower the car too much. On stock height suspension the ride doesn't feel much different with the 305/275. Lowering the car about an inch will make it handle better but you do feel impacts/bumps more. If you go lower than about 1.5" the ride quality will be terrible as there's just no travel left in the suspension.
Thanks Derek! I'm, really happy with the outcome on this one. I've grown to love the SL55's as they represent such an incredible bargain for the performance and luxury that you get. Once modified a bit, the styling still looks modern and they did such a great job on the original design. They are indeed extremely complex machines but I do like working on them.
Hey man, do you know the offset of these wheels? I'm looking to get the same ones and was wondering if you can point me in the right direction. They look awesome.

MBZ MBZ Do the wheels rub? I checked and the recommended offset is different from what you have listed. I’m wondering how this setup will handle some harder driving ? Also could you share where did you get the lip, spoiler and the diffuser? I just got silver SL and I want to change few things up :) Thank you as your input is very appreciated.
I've had the car up in the triple digits and on some twisty roads with zero rubbing on this setup, no worries! Will reply back to your email with the info on the parts.
Wow, beautifully modded, well kept car and from the video the paint looks spotless. I'm in the market for an SL 55 myself, it's tough trying to find a white on red interior SL. Did you find a buyer for this yet? What are you asking for it?
Thanks Vince! The car was truly like new when I was done with it. Unfortunately this one sold back in July. Of the almost 20 SL55s that I've had only 4 of them have had the berry red interior and 1 of those 4 was the white/red combo. Also had a white/red SL63. Definitely very rare to find that color combo but it's my favorite too!
Thanks to this video i decided to get a silver R230 after all, albeit not a 55, but i found a good deal on a 600. Will probably mod it to something like the one here, truly beautiful. Are those 19s or 20s wheels, i have 20s on now but i think i might step down since it's a little heavy. Will 19s be too small on our cars? c1.staticflickr.com/5/4777/39759552395_41268ba63c_b.jpg
Very nice looking one slat front grill , is it an original part from Mercedes , can I have the part number please 🙏 I want to get one same as yours , thanks!
Hey man, I love the mods you do on these SLs. I'd like to talk with you about getting some of the parts you use for mine. I sent you an e-mail last night so please let me know if you got it. Thanks. :)
This 15 year old car looks better than some cars that are being made in 2020
Brooklyn is watching

Seriously dude, this has got to be the nicest looking 55 I’ve ever seen. It looks clean, classy and brutal all at the same time. I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat. Sadly I’m in South Africa. Nice work mate 👍🏼
AK Essop just bought one from we buy cars in jhb south for 225k but mine sl65
You should see my genuine Brabus SL55 K8
Best looking open grand tourer ever! Design is timeless
Agreed! It's amazing what a few modern cosmetic touches can do for an already stunning design.
I used to have the sl 450. Was so nice, but drive like a boat and no power. Now 8 year later I'm thinking about buying the sl 55. Timeless
man, I have an SL55 and for sure this one looks so badass! Really liked, from Portugal
Much appreciated Tiago!
That is absolutely the cleanest SL I have ever seen
The SL R230 has aged so well, just like fine wine!
LOL it was outdated the moment it left the factory!!!
Those wheels look fantastic on that thing
Holy smokes, what a beautiful car.
This car is just a timeless masterpiece
Agreed! The styling on these 2003-2008 SLs will still look beautiful 15 years from now.
Love my CLS55
One if the nicest I've seen. You're very meticulous with taking care of your ride.
Incredibly stunning machine. Great work!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Love the color combination of the brilliant silver and gunmetal rims, carbon splitters and grill. Thinking Niche Essen wheels would look good on my C55.

What wheels and size do have on her, absolutely stunning! I'm buying myself one in a couple months and honestly can not wait!
Did you ever get one ?
Very nice car, love all the little bits. Classy
40 dislikes are by Bimmer 645ci owners😂... Another beautiful car Brian!
Still one of the best looking mercs all of time
This is prob one of the nicest ones he did.
This car is so ahead of its time...
for a video with no driving or anything, i have watched this video at least 10 times.. beautiful car
Clean tasteful mods. Beautiful car. Where did you get all the carbon fiber interior bits and engine cover? And which exhaust is that?
Timeless......Just bought me a 2011 SL 63 ///AMG wit 30k on it, and I got the 2 year warranty. It is funny on the newer ones the AMG decal on the back comes first.
Un chef -d'oeuvre !!! Ferrari, Lambo et autres passer votre chemin.
This sl is a beast nice tuning nice wheels.hi from greece
Appreciate the support!
2020 not my dream car but still a good looking car, some benz jus have that timeless design
So nice I just got rid of my 500 and 600 I adore these cars
Very nice car, very well taking care. My dream car, just always scared of the air suspension.
Appreciate it! When working correctly, the hydraulic ABC suspension is great. Repairs aren't too bad if you're mechanically inclined.
Nice ride. I have the same car.. what wheels are those? Thx
Beautiful example of a SL55
Thanks Jeff!
Can anyone advise what’s the spec of these wheels please? Want a set for my E55!
Beautiful build dude car looks stunning
One of the best sl55 looking. This sl is the best for me. After this model sl is dead.
What the fuck this channel is pure golddddddddd im shocked there aren't many clean E55s on here and also I see you showcased this car has aux cord type c USB and iPhone support nice !!!
This car looks better than some of today’s Hyper-cars
Masterpiece😍
Wow I'm honestly liking this more than the newer SL lol
Hey what grill and front splitter did you purchase?
This is like perfect
Could you share the brand for the diffuser, spoiler, and lip?
Hi, what kind of lip spoler is that? I don't believe that it's a factory addition.
2019 LEGENDS SL 55 AMG DREAM CAR 😍😍😍
March 21 how the fuck am I not in one yet . How are we not in one ?!? 🤷🏻♂️ Keep working hard and keep this as a goal in your mind . I promise it will come if your want it had enough.
What is the offset ? Or can you please tell me what would be a suitable offset of a 20 inch wheel 9inches front 10 rear to get a similar stance without rubbing
What kind of rims r those
What's the wheel & tyre sizes? Did you have to roll your fenders? Or any modifications done to fit it?
05 to 2008 these beauties were made.
The sl55 Amg is the closest you'll get to a car that looks like the legendary and highest end benz , THE SLR McLaren without spending 300,000$ on a used one
I have one of these😊 Any recommendations on how to restore the leather seats. Mine are a bit scratched up. Thx
@FisherFast
Hi man i have also a sl55 and i wanna buy a rear diffuser like urs. My question is do i have to cut anything at the rear bumper?
How many parts moved for the convertible top 😅😮 $$$$$$$$ if it breaks
Hi. Where you bought the rear diffuser?
Send me an email to Fisherfast@hotmail.com and i will relay the info to you for the diffuser.
Looks great! did have to lower it?
A real beauty!
Beautiful car, is there a list of mods anywhere?
What are those wheel size / width and brand?
So fucken beautiful prob their best design
Agreed! Still prefer this exterior design when compared to the new SL's.
What is the model of these rims and what is the tire size?
very nice, love those wheels
I had a slk55 amg but looking into these sl 55’s & noticing there cheaper for some reason idk how or why but man trading my slk for a sl no doubt this is one sexy car
Wow start/stop button on the gear selector is the business. Any tutorials on how you did that?
That is the original start stop button from the factory
Beautiful, how could you get aux cable? And are you playing aux by dvd mode or what?
Where do sell your cars at? And are u mechanic if a somebody pay you to mod their cars ? I have a E55
I’m getting one of these real soon!

Love these
What wheels and tires are on her and what size are they? Thanks

Is there back seats and seat belts in this car?
What are these wheels Size dimensions and the tires height and wide ?
Dude where do you get these cars
How much and where could I look at the car thinking about getting one
Tint the front headlights, I have one to in red
I had the 600 and 500, 600 has lots of problems unfortunately so I got rid of it and my 500 was crushed by a tree 1 year ago from today:)
Do you still own this car?
tastefully done! are those the niche form in charcoal? what wheel/tire sizes are you running?
Thanks Joel! Those are indeed the Niche Form M157 in Charcoal. I ran a 20x8.5 25et with a 10mm H&R hub-centric spacer (for flush fitment) and 255/30/20 in the front. In the rear I did a 20x10.5 27ET with a 305/25/20 tire. Unfortunately Niche does not make a 20x9 for the front in this particular wheel, hence having to run a 8.5".

MBZ MBZ did you use spacers in the rear ?
MY DREAM CAR THE SL63 or 55AMG/// ❤️🔥
I LOVE THIS CAR TODAY TOO ❤️🔥
What wheels are those? still for sale? :) lol.
Gorgeous car
I would like one very, very much.
What are the parameters of rims and tires?
What wheels are these
Was this the brilliant silver metallic or the diamond silver metallic?🤔
Burgess Willis This SL was indeed Brilliant Silver (744U). The Diamond Silver has a baby blue hue to the silver.
Mat black would also look nice :) along with all the carbon... omg so delicious
Looks awesome! It seems like you always have another gorgeous SL for sale on eBay haha. Do you enjoy working on them?
Thanks Derek! I'm, really happy with the outcome on this one. I've grown to love the SL55's as they represent such an incredible bargain for the performance and luxury that you get.

Is this still available???
what a beauty
Hey man, do you know the offset of these wheels? I'm looking to get the same ones and was wondering if you can point me in the right direction. They look awesome.
NVM i found the offset in the comments someone asked, ET 27 in the rear and the front you ran a 10mm spacer? with 305 in the rear do you rub at all?
It is missing that smallest top flap on the drivers side. Exact same problem I have on my 05 SL500.
Same here, too. Drivers side as well
What kind of wheels are those ? Size, offset & Brand ?
These wheels are Niche Form M157 in Charcoal. I ran a 20x8.5 25et with a 10mm H&R hub-centric spacer (for flush fitment) and 255/30/20 in the front.

Thanks David! This wheel design really compliments the car and is one of my favorites.
@@FisherFAST What rims are they Fisher?
HAs it been lowered?
Hey Nic. This SL was indeed lowered using adjustable lowering links. I want to say that the drop was about 1.25-1.5" front stock front/rear.
My God that is the best Sl55 AMG I have ever seen , what kinda wheels are those?
Appreciate it! They are Niche Form M157 wheels in charcoal color.
Man.. good looking car.
Thanks TheZmt!
